  The power control unit 22 performs control to turn on / off the power of the mobile phone 1 based on an operation on the power key 7. The power control unit 22 executes a power control process described later.

  Now, when there is an incoming call or electronic mail, an incoming call notification is made to inform the user that the incoming call is being received.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of incoming call notification processing when incoming call notification is performed.

  The notification control unit 21 monitors whether there is an incoming call (S101). When there is an incoming call (S101: YES), the notification control unit 21 determines whether the drive mode is set and whether the manner mode (public mode) is set (S102, S103).

  The drive mode and the manner mode are set or canceled by the notification control unit 21 when a predetermined operation is performed by the user. For example, in the state where the drive mode is released, when an operation of long-pressing one operation key of the key operation unit 6 is performed, the drive mode is set. In the state where the drive mode is set, the drive mode is canceled when an operation of pressing and holding the same operation key as the operation key for setting the drive mode is performed. In addition, when the manner mode is cancelled, if the operation key that is different from the operation key assigned to the drive mode is pressed and held, the manner mode is set. In the state where the manner mode is set, the manner mode is canceled when an operation of pressing and holding the same operation key as the operation key for setting the manner mode is performed.

  The drive mode is set when the telephone cannot be answered at present, such as during driving. The manner mode is set when the ringing tone causes a nuisance to the surroundings.

  When the drive mode is set (S102: YES), the notification control unit 21 stores the incoming call date and time, the telephone number, and the like in the storage unit 12 as an incoming call history without performing the incoming call notification by the ring tone (S104). . Further, the notification control unit 21 returns a message indicating that the telephone cannot be answered at present to the transmitting device (S105).

  On the other hand, when the manner mode is set (S103: YES), the notification control unit 21 operates the vibration generating unit 20 to notify the incoming call by vibration without performing the incoming call notification by the ring tone (S106). .

  When neither the drive mode nor the manner mode is set (S102: NO, S103: NO), the notification control unit 21 performs an incoming call notification using a ringtone (S107).

  The type and volume of the ringtone are set in advance by the user using a predetermined setting screen. The notification control unit 21 outputs a set type of ringtone at a set volume.

  The notification control unit 21 outputs a ring tone from an output destination set according to the connection status of earphones or the like to the wired output unit 16a and the wireless output unit 16b. For example, when there is no earphone or the like connected to the wired output unit 16a and the wireless output unit 16b, a ring tone is output from the external speaker 8. At this time, the ring tone is not output from the call speaker 5, and the ring tone, that is, the electric signal corresponding to the ring tone is not output from the wired output unit 16a and the wireless output unit 16b. On the other hand, when an earphone or the like is connected to the wired output unit 16a and the wireless output unit 16b, a ring tone is output from the connected earphone or the like. At this time, no ring tone is output from the call speaker 5 and the external speaker 8.

  When the call start operation is performed (S108: YES) or the incoming call is stopped (S109: YES), the notification control unit 21 stops the incoming call notification (S110) and ends the process.

When an emergency situation such as an accident occurs, the user reports from the mobile phone 1 to the emergency contact number 110, 119, etc., and then from the emergency contact point or a destination related to the emergency contact point There may be a phone call. At this time, if the drive mode or the manner mode is still set in the mobile phone 1, the ring tone does not sound, so that the user may not notice the incoming call from the emergency contact. Also, even if the drive mode or manner mode is not set and the ringtone is sounded, if the surroundings are noisy, the ringtone does not reach the user sufficiently, and the user is There is a risk that you will not notice the incoming call.

  Therefore, the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment has a function for preventing a user from noticing a serious incoming call such as an incoming call from an emergency contact. Hereinafter, this function will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the emergency call mode setting process. FIG. 4A is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the emergency call mode setting process. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a display example of a screen based on the emergency call mode setting.

  When there is a call from the communication unit 19 to another device, the notification control unit 21 determines whether the call destination is an emergency contact registered in the important contact table 12a (S201).

  When the call destination is a call to the emergency contact registered in the important contact table 12a (S201: YES), the notification control unit 21 sets the emergency call mode (S202). For example, the flag assigned to the emergency call mode is set to “1” indicating the set state.

  Next, the notification control unit 21 determines whether the drive mode is set and whether the manner mode is set (S203, S204). When the drive mode is set (S203: YES), the notification control unit 21 cancels the drive mode (S205), and when the manner mode is set (S204: YES), the manner mode is set. Release (S206).

  Next, the notification control unit 21 determines whether or not the ring volume is set to the maximum volume (S207). If the ring volume is not the maximum volume (S207: NO), the notification control unit 21 changes the ring volume to the maximum volume (S208).

  Next, the notification control unit 21 displays a notification screen indicating that the emergency call mode has been set on the display surface 3 (S209). For example, when the manner mode is canceled and the ring volume is changed to the maximum volume, as shown in FIG. 4B, a message for informing the emergency call mode setting, the manner mode release, and the ring volume change. Appears on the notification screen. The notification control unit 21 closes the notification screen when a certain time has elapsed and displays the screen before the notification screen is displayed on the display surface 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, a notification icon 102 indicating that the emergency call mode is set is displayed in the pictogram area 101 provided on each screen in addition to the notification screen.

  Thus, by executing the emergency call mode setting process, the drive mode or manner mode previously set by the user is automatically canceled. Also, the ring volume is set to the maximum volume. Therefore, when there is an incoming call after making a call to the emergency contact, even if the drive mode or the manner mode is set before making a call to the emergency contact, the incoming call notification process shown in FIG. By being executed, a ringtone is output at a maximum volume from a predetermined output destination such as the external speaker 8.

Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to cause a situation in which the user does not notice an incoming call from an emergency contact or a destination related to the emergency contact.

  Note that while the emergency call mode is set, even if an operation for setting the drive mode or the manner mode is performed by the user, these operations are invalidated, and the notification control unit 21 does not set the drive mode or the manner mode. .

  In addition, the mobile phone 1 includes a light emitting unit configured by a light emitting element such as an LED. While the emergency control mode is set, the notification control unit 21 emits light different from that of the other party not registered in the important contact table 12a when an incoming call is received from the emergency contact registered in the important contact table 12a. The light emitting part is caused to emit light according to the embodiment. Examples of different light emission modes include a change in emission color and a change in emission pattern. With such a configuration, the user can distinguish between a call from an important destination such as an emergency contact and a call from another destination.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the emergency call mode cancellation processing. FIG. 5A is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the emergency call mode cancellation processing. FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating a display example of a screen based on cancellation of the emergency call mode.

  When the emergency call mode setting process ends, the emergency call mode release process is started. The notification control unit 21 determines whether or not an operation for canceling the emergency call mode, for example, an operation of pressing and holding an operation key assigned to the cancel operation of the key operation unit 6 has been performed (S301). Further, the notification control unit 21 determines whether or not a preset release time has elapsed since the emergency call mode was set (S302). The release time is a time (for example, several hours to several tens of hours) when the emergency contact that has caused the outgoing call to the emergency contact is not called after the time has elapsed. Degree).

  When the canceling operation is performed (S301: YES) or when the canceling time has elapsed (S302: YES), the notification control unit 21 cancels the emergency call mode (S303). For example, the flag assigned to the emergency call mode is set to “0” indicating the release state.

  Next, the notification control unit 21 sets the drive mode, the manner mode, and the incoming volume before the emergency call mode is set, that is, before the call to the emergency contact registered in the important contact table 12a is made. The setting state is restored (S304). If the drive mode or manner mode is set before the emergency call mode is set, the drive mode or manner mode is set again.

  Next, the notification control unit 21 displays a notification screen indicating that the emergency call mode has been canceled on the display surface 3 (S305). For example, when the manner mode is set again and the ring volume is changed to the original set volume, the emergency call mode is canceled, the manner mode is set and the ring volume is changed as shown in FIG. A notification message appears on the notification screen. The notification control unit 21 closes the notification screen when a certain time has elapsed and displays the screen before the notification screen is displayed on the display surface 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the notification icon 102 is deleted from the pictogram area 101 of each screen other than the notification screen.

  Thus, when the emergency call mode is canceled, if there is an incoming call after the cancellation, the incoming call notification process shown in FIG. 3 is executed if the drive mode or the manner mode is set before calling the emergency contact address. Thus, the process according to the drive mode setting (S104, S105) or the process according to the manner mode setting (S106) is executed without outputting the ring tone.

  As described above, after the emergency call mode setting process is executed, when the release operation is performed or when the release time elapses, the incoming call notification setting state, that is, the drive mode, the manner mode, and the incoming volume setting state are changed. Since the operation returns to the state before the call to the emergency contact registered in the important contact table 12a is made, the user does not need to perform the operation of returning the setting state of the incoming call notification one by one. Therefore, user convenience for the mobile phone 1 is improved.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of power control processing executed in a state where the power of the mobile phone 1 is turned on. FIG. 6A shows a first example of the power control process, and FIG. 6B shows a second example of the power control process.

  First, the power supply control process according to the first example will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The power control unit 22 monitors an operation for turning off the power, that is, whether or not the power key 7 is pressed (S401). When an operation to turn off the power is performed (S401: YES), the power control unit 22 determines whether or not the emergency call mode is set (S402).

  When determining that the emergency call mode is not set (S402: NO), the power control unit 22 turns off the power of the mobile phone 1 (S403). On the other hand, when determining that the emergency call mode is set (S402: YES), the power control unit 22 turns off the display unit 13 without turning off the power of the mobile phone 1 (S404).

  According to the first example, even if an operation to turn off the power is performed after making a call to the emergency contact, the power is not turned off, so that a call can be received from the emergency contact or a contact related to the emergency contact. It can be prevented from disappearing. Further, since the display unit 13 is turned off, power consumption can be suppressed.

  Next, the power supply control process according to the second example will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When an operation to turn off the power supply is performed (S411: YES), the power supply control unit 22 turns off the power supply of the mobile phone 1 (S412). At this time, power supply to the control unit 11 is continued.

  Next, the power supply control unit 22 determines whether or not the emergency call mode is set (S413). When determining that the emergency call mode is not set (S413: NO), the power control unit 22 ends the process. The power supply of the mobile phone 1 remains off.

  On the other hand, when determining that the emergency call mode is set (S413: YES), the power supply control unit 22 starts counting time (S414), and when the counted time reaches a predetermined time (S415: YES), The mobile phone 1 is turned on (S416).

  According to the second example, when an operation to turn off the power is performed after the outgoing call to the emergency contact address, the power of the mobile phone 1 is temporarily turned off, but then returns. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the telephone from being received from the emergency contact or the other party related to the emergency contact.

<Modification 1>
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of emergency call mode setting processing according to the first modification. FIG. 7 shows only a part of processing including processing (S210, S211) added to the emergency call mode setting processing (see FIG. 4A) of the above embodiment.

  In this modification, not only the incoming call volume is changed but also the type of the incoming call is changed based on the outgoing call to the emergency contact registered in the important contact table 12a.

  When the incoming call volume is changed (S208), the notification control unit 21 next determines whether or not the currently set type of ringtone is a type having a lower recognition effect on the user than the specified type. (S210). For example, the notification control unit 21 detects all silence periods from the currently set ringtone, and determines that the recognition effect is lower than the prescribed type when the total silence period is longer than a predetermined period. To do.

  If the notification control unit 21 determines that the type has a lower recognition effect than the specified type (S210: YES), the notification control unit 21 changes the type of the ringtone to the specified type (S211).

  According to this modified example, the emergency incoming call mode is set, whereby the incoming ring tone is changed to a type of incoming ring tone that has a high recognition effect on the user. Therefore, the situation where the user does not notice the incoming call from the emergency contact or the other party related to the emergency contact can be made even less likely to occur.

<Modification 2>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of emergency call mode setting processing according to the second modification. FIG. 8 shows only a part of the process including the process (S212) added to the emergency call mode setting process (see FIG. 4A) of the above embodiment.

  In the present modification example, when the notification control unit 21 changes the ring volume (S208), next, the output destination of the ring tone is set to all of the call speaker 5, the external speaker 8, the wired output unit 16a, and the wireless output unit 16b. Set the output destination. Thus, when the incoming call notification process shown in FIG. 3 is executed, a ring tone is output from the call speaker 5, the external speaker 8, and the earphones connected to the wired output unit 16a and the wireless output unit 16b.

  As described above, it is most desirable that the output destination of the ringtone is set to all output destinations. However, even if the output destination of the ringtone is not set to all output destinations as described above, at least the output destination set before the emergency incoming call mode is set is set to be more output destinations. It should be done.

  According to the configuration of this modified example, the ring tone is notified from more output destinations than before the emergency call mode is set. Therefore, the situation where the user does not notice the incoming call from the emergency contact or the other party related to the emergency contact can be made even less likely to occur.

  As described above, it is most desirable that the output destination of the ringtone is set to all output destinations. However, the output destination of the ringtone does not necessarily have to be set to all output destinations, and is configured to be set to more output destinations than the output destination set at least before the emergency call mode is set. As a result, the above-described effects can be achieved.

  Furthermore, the configuration of the present modification example can also be applied to the configuration of the modification example 1.

<Modification 3>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of a warning process during a call according to the third modification. When the emergency call mode is set, the alert control unit 21 executes a warning process at the time of a call described below.

The notification control unit 21 monitors whether or not a call is started following transmission from the communication unit 19 or reception to the communication unit 19 (S501). When the call is started, the notification control unit 21 starts counting time (S502), and determines whether or not the counted time has reached a predetermined time (for example, a time of about several minutes) (S503). . When the counted time reaches a predetermined time (S503: YES), the notification control unit 21 outputs a warning sound from the call speaker 5, or an earphone connected to the wired output unit 16a or the wireless output unit 16b (S504). ).

  According to the configuration of this modified example, after a contact is made to the emergency contact, a warning sound is emitted when one phone becomes long, so that the user can keep a short phone call. Therefore, it is possible to prevent other important calls from being received due to the prolonged current call.

<Modification 4>
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the emergency call mode setting process according to the fourth modification. FIG. 10A shows a first example, and FIG. 10B shows a second example.

  In the first example, the notification control unit 21 has a notification screen on which an off button 103 for turning off the ring tone as shown in FIG. 10A is arranged by the process of step S209 in FIG. Is displayed on the display surface 3.

  When the user performs a tap operation on the off button 103, the notification control unit 21 sets the ringtone off. As a result, the ring tone is not output when an incoming call is received.

  With such a configuration, the user can prevent the ring tone from ringing when it is difficult to ring the ring tone.

  When a tap operation is performed on the off button 103, the vibration generating unit 20 may be operated when an incoming call is received, and a notification of arrival due to vibration may be performed.

  In the second example, the notification control unit 21 is provided with a release button 104 for canceling the change of the incoming call volume as shown in FIG. 10B by the process of step S209 of FIG. A notification screen is displayed on the display surface 3.

  When the user performs a tap operation on the release button 104, the notification control unit 21 cancels the change in the ring volume and returns the ring volume to the volume set before the emergency call mode is set. As a result, when an incoming call is received, the ring tone is output at the volume set before the emergency call mode is set, not at the maximum volume.

  With such a configuration, the user can prevent the ring tone from ringing greatly when it is difficult to ring a large ring tone.

  In addition to the first example and the second example, for example, a change button for changing to a preset small ring volume may be arranged on the notification screen.

While the embodiments and modifications of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the like, and the embodiments of the present invention are variously modified in addition to the above. Is possible.

For example, in the above embodiment, in the emergency call mode setting process, the process for releasing the drive mode (S203, S205), the process for releasing the manner mode (S204, S20).
6) and processing for changing the ring volume (S207, S208) are executed. Further, in the first modification, in addition to these processes, processes (S210, S211) for changing the type of ringtone are executed. However, it is not always necessary to have such a configuration, and at least one of a process for releasing the drive mode, a process for releasing the manner mode, a process for changing the ring volume, and a process for changing the type of the ring tone It is sufficient that the emergency call mode setting process including is executed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the incoming call volume is changed to the maximum volume in the emergency call mode setting process. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the volume may be changed to a volume that is larger than the currently set volume by a predetermined level.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the emergency contact phone number and e-mail address are registered in the important contact table 12a. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the user should be appropriate as a contact for triggering to perform processing for enhancing the recognition effect of incoming notification, that is, processing for canceling the drive mode and manner mode, and processing for increasing the incoming call volume The telephone numbers and mail addresses of all contacts may be registered in the important contact table 12a.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the manner mode is set, notification is made by vibration instead of the ringtone. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the manner mode is set, the ring tone may be output with a small ring volume set as the ring volume for the manner mode. In this case, when the emergency call mode is set, the manner mode may not be canceled but the ring tone may be notified with a ring volume larger than the ring volume for the manner mode.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, in the emergency call mode release process, both the presence / absence of the release operation and the presence / absence of the time limit have been determined. One may be determined.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the display unit 13 is turned off when the emergency call mode is set in the power control process shown in FIG. However, the display unit 13 does not necessarily have to be turned off.
